Blackfin Bistro

If restaurant is an experience this is the right place to be! The back yard is gorgeous, the food is simply amazing! We had the tuna tartare, beat salad, octopus, grouper and crème brulle! All dishes were amazing! I will be back! I also highly recommend this place. Great vibe, amazing food, smiley staff!

Recommended by the locals and this place was GREAT! It is BYOB, but they do have beer and wine. All the food is fresh caught - which we found out a lot of the places use product from Cisco and Costco... weird since you have so much fresh fish available so close. ANYWAYS, we met the owner and he was very friendly and helpful on selections. We had escargot and mussles in a wine sauce for appetizers - very very good. Main meal was the catch of the day, yellowtail snapper with mashed taters and veggies... the fresh crusty sour dough bread served with everything was soo good as well. It's more small, romantic setting, and the prices were as expected. Great jazz music was playing in the background. 5 Star for sure!!

Beautiful place, friendly staff and delicious food. We couldn't be more thrilled to spend our first evening out in Key West, dining at the Blackfin Bistro. The location was perfect and towards the more "sophisticated" part of the busy Duval street which meant we could truly enjoy our meal with a true 360 ambience around the experience. Thank you to Gabor for recommending the specials of the house to us, we were really impressed by the way you had added an extra layer of flavour to the dishes. Couldn't recommend it more. Do try to go here at least once for a true gastronomic experience.

Had an amazing meal here! We watched a few different groups of locals come in while we were here - it’s evident that it’s a beloved spot! We also have a broad range of dietary preferences and everyone had something they loved (fish to burgers to pasta to salads) and the staff was very kind, welcoming and patient - we were so impressed by how hard they worked and how gracefully they navigated the small space & worked together! We had an amazing meal and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend!!

First time to the Keys and first restaurant we visited. Small interior with dark finishings makes for a romantic mood. Wine and beer options were great but we stuck to water after a day of travel. We had two specials: a grilled octopus with a tempura fried avocado and a sauce that was to die for as well as a tilefish (I think that's what it was called?) with rice and broccoli in yet another delicious sauce. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to interact with. So glad we stopped in!!

My wife and I another family member had dinner here outside on a Tuesday night. It was wonderful. Our server Irena was amazing, and all the food was expertly prepared and delicious. The grilled tuna, shrimp with vegetables, and mussels with fries were superb entrees. We also enjoyed a nice Sancerre from the extensive wine list. We will definitely return here the next time we vacation in Key West. This is a terrific place for a relaxing dinner with great food and service.
